BOUNDARY DATA

• The boundaries of census areas have been digitized and licensed for computer mapping and GIS use for academic purposes by ESRC.

• Census boundaries are available on-line: see http://datalib.ed.ac.uk/.

• To register for access, contact The UKBORDERS Service.

• An example of use: see the Population of Britain in the 1990s: a Social and Economic Atlas (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1996) by Tony Champion and colleagues (Newcastle). Census data maps at district or county scale make up about two-thirds of this atlas.
